Need coloured bath resurfacing in Eskeleth?

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

How we handle coloured bath resurfacing in Eskeleth

Most suites take one or two days. Everything is resurfaced where it stands, so there is no plumbing or tiling. If you’re dealing with selling or letting a home with an old suite and a suite that doesn’t match a new bathroom, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Look after the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: gentle cleaners, no suction mats.

Eskeleth questions

Can you turn my avocado bath white?

Yes. We resurface it in white with it left in place.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Eskeleth.

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

What areas do you cover?

All of North Yorkshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

What we’re called out for in Eskeleth

Coloured suites were fitted in huge numbers in the 1970s and 80s, and many are still sound. It’s normally the colour that dates them, not the condition.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Selling or letting a home with an old suite
  • A dated coloured suite you’d like in white
  • Faded or patchy colour
  • A suite that does not match a new bathroom

What to look for in a quote

  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What happens if they find more damage

Choosing a repair company

Should you replace it?

Swapping a coloured suite for a white one involves new sanitaryware, a plumber and a tiler. Refinishing it in white turns it white with everything left in place. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • A fixed quote before you book

Take a look at our pricing and resurfacing vs replacement cost guide.

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • The inside of a toilet bowl, unless we’ve agreed it will last
  • Items cracked right through
  • Fittings and taps (these are masked, not recoloured)

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths
  • Coloured shower trays
  • Coloured basins
  • Whole bathroom suites

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes one to two days for a full suite. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Next we degrease everything and fix chips.
  3. We prepare the surface and apply a bonding primer.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. We leave everything to cure, normally until the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What coloured bath resurfacing costs

Prices start from £350. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Eskeleth. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
